Fit With Lainey

Finally I received my formal diagnosis... turns out all my back, sciatica and piriformis issues all stem from hypermobility 🙈..

Can't wait to get back into the gym, now I know how to minimise pain or make it worse.

Simple doesn’t mean lacking

Tonight’s plate: Steak + cabbage + broccoli + peas.

Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just a really solid, nutrient-dense meal.

🥩 Steak = high-quality protein, iron, zinc and B12

🥦 Broccoli & cabbage = fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K and a whole host of plant compounds

🫛 Peas = fibre, plant protein and carbohydrates for energy

And importantly…

protein + fibre + micronutrients = a meal that actually helps keep you satisfied.

I think nutrition can get overcomplicated.

You don't need a “perfect” meal or 17 different ingredients to eat well.

Sometimes it's just:

A good source of protein.
Plenty of plants.
Some colour.
Enough food to fuel you.

Simple food.
Proper nutrition. 🤍

For a long time, weight loss coaching was all about creating a calorie deficit...

Now, with medications like Mounjaro, the conversation has changed.

Weight loss is often happening despite people eating very little, not because they're following a balanced nutrition plan.

One of the biggest challenges I see isn't losing weight... it's looking after your health whilst losing it.

Reduced appetite can make it incredibly difficult to eat enough protein, fibre and nutrient-rich foods. Energy levels can crash, muscle mass can decline, exercise becomes harder to commit to, and many people simply don't know what they should be eating anymore.

This client had already lost an incredible 28kg before we started working together.

What she needed wasn't another diet.

She needed structure, accountability, and someone to remove the mental load of planning meals when food had become something she no longer enjoyed.

Together we focused on:

✨ Prioritising protein to help preserve lean muscle.

✨ Building healthy habits that would last beyond the medication.

✨ Introducing movement gradually to work with her energy levels, not against them.

✨ Improving overall health, not just chasing a lower number on the scales.

 
Every Mounjaro journey is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

 
My role isn't to judge whether someone chooses medication, it's to help them get the very best health outcomes while they're on it.

If you're taking a GLP-1 medication and feel like you've lost your appetite, your routine, your energy or your confidence, you're definitely not alone

I'd love to know... what surprised you most about this client's story?

AUGUST SPECIAL OFFER ✨

3 Classes for just £23
Saturdays | 8:00am | Cookney Hall

If you've been thinking about trying Pilates but weren't sure where to start, this is the perfect opportunity.

This August I'm offering a 3-week introductory block for just £23 – a one-off summer offer and a great chance to experience my teaching style.

This isn't a fast-paced, choreographed fitness class.

It's a slower, more mindful style of Pilates that blends traditional Pilates foundations with contemporary movement, focusing on quality over quantity. We'll move with the breath, improve posture, build deep core strength and develop body awareness.

Don't let the slower pace fool you though...

You'll still be challenged. Throughout the class I'll offer progressions and options to increase the intensity, so whether you're completely new to Pilates or have been practising for years, you can work at a level that feels right for you.

This class is all about creating that mind-body connection. Learning how to move well, breathe well and leave feeling stronger, taller and more energised than when you walked in.

And yes... it's 8am on a Saturday! 😅 I know getting out of bed can feel like the biggest workout of the day, but I promise it's worth it. Once you've finished, you'll have your entire weekend ahead of you feeling stronger, more mobile and full of energy. It's genuinely one of the best ways to start a Saturday morning.

✔ Perfect for beginners
✔ Suitable for all levels
✔ Traditional & contemporary Pilates
✔ Supportive class environment (and laughter)
✔ Options to increase the challenge as you progress

📅 Saturdays:
15th August
22nd August
29th August

🕗 8:00am
📍 Cookney Hall

3 consecutive classes for just £23 (August offer only)

📸 A little behind-the-scenes of some photos taken for the other side of my fitness business WyldPilates 💪

This shot was taken in the beautiful Wild Park in Chapelton by the incredibly talented Jonathan Addie.

Jonathan has photographed pretty much every stage of my fitness journey over the years, from coaching and commercial shoots to one of the biggest days of my life... our wedding. I was so lucky he was available on our date because there was never anyone else I'd have trusted behind the camera.

He has an amazing ability to make you feel completely at ease, and somehow always captures exactly what you're looking for.

If you're looking for a photographer, whether it's branding, fitness, family or weddings, I honestly couldn't recommend him enough.

Thank you again, Jonathan, for another set of photos I absolutely love! 🙌💚

Calories have been creeping up over the last 6 weeks... not every week, and definitely not by accident. 👊

I'm all about consistency, not constantly changing the plan. If progress is happening, why fix what isn't broken? Adjustments only come when things genuinely plateau.

Will the scales go up? Yep... and that's the goal. 💪

The difference now is I'm not ruled by one number. I've got the mirror, the tape measure, and my Hume body analysis keeping me focused on what actually matters.

September also means one thing... the gym membership is back! 🎉 My home gym has been brilliant, but I need those smaller dumbbell increments to keep progressing properly (and let's be honest... I miss wandering around the gym pretending I don't already know what I'm training 😂).

Here's to eating more, lifting more, getting stronger, and trusting the process. Progress isn't always about getting smaller... sometimes it's about becoming stronger than you've ever been. 🔥
